Learning about the Costa Rican culture
(To Serendipity guides Filipe and Jonathan)
We are deeply humbled by the skills you posses, which you generously shared with us, as well as your passion and enthusiasm. We are sincerely grateful for all your acts of kindness.
Thank you so much for creating such an outstanding experience for the both of us. I wish also to thank all the other extraordinary people who made this trip possible.

We believe that culture is something found not in museums, but in the campo. It is captured by the way everyday people live their lives. To learn about it, you need to get away from the big tourist destinations, and to experience it you need to step into someone else's shoes.
Your Serendipity guide will act as your walking encyclopedia about Costa Rica. He will help you select the best food and explain the pilgrimage of the Dia de La Virgen de Los Angeles. He will also seek out local flavour, by finding local fiestas so you can watch horses dance at a tope or fight a bull the tico way or a learn to dance salsa to a local band.
Many farmers still use oxen to plow their fields and horses are still a primary mode of transportation for campasinos.
